Tokyo bubble life

The August sun hovers in the sky like a ball of fire, without a break from morning to night.

The scorching light scorched the ground so hot that the air close to the ground was slightly distorted, as if stepping on it would emit white smoke.

People who go out during this season are either forced by work and life, or go out to suffer by themselves. Naoki Yongshan actually went out in this kind of weather.

"It's really difficult. I hope the 'bodyguards' can protect me from Xiu Yisang's murderous hands in the studio," Naoki Naoyama complained.

Unexpectedly, Yitang Xiuyi actually asked his wife to take Jia Yijiang out to escape the summer heat. The weakness he wanted to find was gone, so he could only temporarily find a bodyguard from another place!

On the co-pilot of the Toyota World, a burly figure was adjusting the air-conditioning outlet, and he sighed comfortably when the cool wind finally reached his cheeks.

"Naoki, the summer in Tokyo is much hotter than in Shizuoka." Cousin Nagayama Kaede complained about the climate in Tokyo, "When in Shizuoka, no matter what, there is always sea breeze."

"Brother Feng, in fact, Tokyo is also located by the sea!"

Naoki Naoyama went to the sumo gym early in the morning, and then took him to watch the behind-the-scenes editing of the movie in the name of knowing the behind-the-scenes operations if he wants to go deep into the entertainment world.

"It's just that Tokyo is so big that the sea breeze is blocked by buildings~"

Yong Shanfeng tugged at the collar: "Yes, it's all reinforced concrete, and even the human touch is much less."

"Ha, it will be much better when you make real friends." Naoki Yongshan laughed and drove towards the studio.

On the ground where the car passed, a puff of dust and smoke was raised, slowly landed, and then stirred by the next car, it rose again, as if they couldn't stand the scorching heat of the ground and kept beating.

When Naoki Naoyama arrived at the studio, it was the busiest time in the morning. The hall was cooled by central air-conditioning, and the staff of Shuyou Films were all performing their duties in an orderly manner.

However, after Naoki Yongshan stepped into the lobby, many employees looked at him. As a professional person who knows how to read the air, he has more or less heard the interaction between Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura yesterday. For the arrival of Naoki Yongshan today, everyone has some meaning of eating melons.

"Haha, good morning everyone~" Naoki Yongshan greeted the employees with a smile, and in exchange for meaningful replies from everyone.

"Naoki-san, you are here today~" "Naoki-san, is it so early?" "Naoki-san is back~"

"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san is already in the editing room!"

Eh? This guy is very smart! Naoki Yongshan looked at an employee, but he didn't expect the young man to be very troublesome~

In front of everyone, Naoki Yongshan introduced the strong figure behind him to the employees: "Haha, some people already know each other. This is Kaede Yongshan, one of the leading actors of our movie this time, come to visit today~"

"Everyone ~ good morning ~"

Yong Shanfeng greeted the staff very kindly, some of whom were already familiar with the crew.

When the greetings were almost over, Naoki Yongshan walked into the office with Feng Shanfeng. At this time, the employees who stayed outside began to whisper.

"Sure enough, you hired such a bodyguard!" "Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?" "If you want me to say, Naoki-san is smart!"

Naturally, Naoki Yongshan did not hear the conversation outside, and when he entered the office, he saw Otomo Fangcun busy.

"Otomo-san, good morning~"

"Ah, Naoki-san, you're here." Fangcun Dayou raised his head, but found a burly figure walking in, "This is Serizawa-san?"

"Haha, Otomo-san, the filming is over, so we can't use the title of the play anymore!" Naoki Yongshan said haha.

"It's okay, as long as you know it's me." Yong Shanfeng said indifferently, "Dayou-sang, we meet again."

Fangcun Dayu also showed a smile: "After the movie is released, Fengsang will be called by many people by this name. Many movie stars are like this. It is actually an achievement for the audience to remember the name of the character!"

"Haha, Otomo-sang is too famous."

The two chatted a few words in a friendly manner, and Fangcun Dayou turned to Yongshan Naoki: "Naoki-san, did you receive the call I made to you?"

"Ah, I got it."

"That?"

"That's why I brought Brother Feng here!" Naoki Yongshan smiled, "Xiuichi-sang should be very surprised to see Brother Feng."

".You." Fangcun Otomo was a little speechless, but with such a presence, it seemed that Xiuyi Yitang really couldn't make waves, "But, where did you go before?"

"Haha, because I was more impulsive after drinking, I went to Fukushima to attend a good friend's concert." Naoki Naoyama pushed everything to the impulsiveness of older people, "Then came back all day."

Fangcun Dayou had no choice but to take this guy in front of him: "Ah, the vitality of young people is sure enough. But you have to explain it to Xiu Yisang."

Before Otomo Fangcun could finish his words, Xiuyi Yitang's slightly excited voice suddenly came from outside the office: "I think I heard Naoki-san coming? Hahaha, where is it? I want to have a good chat with him! "

As the footsteps approached, the door of the small office opened suddenly: "Naoki-san? Brother Feng?"

Yi Tangxiu, who was standing at the door, opened the door, but the first thing he saw was not Naoki Yongshan, but the figure of the sturdy Feng Yongshan, blocking Naoki Yongshan like a wall.

"Ah, Xiu Yisang!" Yong Shanfeng greeted happily.

"Brother Feng, why are you here?"

Ever since he went to experience the extreme life, Ido Shuichi has a special respect for Yong Shanfeng, because he was his boss at that time.

And after filming "Hot-Blooded High School", this respect is even more important, definitely not because Yong Shanfeng really staged in front of him what is called one fight ten!

"Ah, Naoki said to take me to watch the editing process of the film. After all, I will be in this industry in the future, so I still need to understand more or less." Yong Shanfeng said frankly.

"It turned out that Naoki-san brought you here!" Yi Tangxiu gritted his teeth, and looked at Yongshan Naoki inside, "Naoki-san is really a person who is individual, considerate, and subtle!"

"Haha, Xiu Yisang is too flattering." Naoki Yongshan huddled behind Yongshan Feng and showed a smile, "Brother Feng, Xiu Yisang really knows everything about editing and has a lot of experience. Let Xiu Yisang take you there Take a tour of the editing room!"

"Really?" Yong Shanfeng was a little confused about this subtle atmosphere, but since Naoki said it, there was nothing wrong, so he patted Shuichi Ido on the shoulder: "Then I'm going to trouble you, Shuichi-san!"

Sensing a strong force on his shoulder, Yi Tangxiu looked at Yong Shanfeng in front of him and couldn't think of a word to refuse for a moment: "No trouble, no trouble."

He took a bitter look at Naoki Yongshan inside, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only lead him to the editing room.

Fangcun Dayou watched the scene with cold eyes, and waited until the person walked out before saying: "Naoki-san, you are treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"

"Haha, this guy Xiu Yisang was actually a bit troublesome when we first met, but it was easy to deal with afterward."

Yongshan Naoki smiled at Fangcun Dayou, and he had already figured out the tempers of his two friends.

"Otomo-san, I'm going to follow. I want to calm Xiu Yi-sang's anger, but I really want to direct his mind to work."

Said that Naoki Naoyama also ran out of the office and walked towards the editing room, leaving only Yoshimura Otomo shaking his head:

"I really pinched Xiuyi Sauna clearly."

After speaking, I changed my mind: "No, Naoki-san can also grasp my character, right?"

In the small editing room, Masataka Komori was diligently stitching together the materials, while Shuichi Ido next to him was introducing the functions of various equipment and the previously edited videos to Kaede Yongshan.

Seeing Naoki Yongshan coming in, Osamu Itō took a look, wanted to say something but held back.

"Brother Feng, on this Acmade PicSynch, which is a synchronous editing of sound and picture on film, we can see the effect of sound and picture presentation. If we feel that it is not good, we can directly replace or re-edit."

Yitang pointed to a long machine and introduced, "In the past, we had to cut them separately, but this latest machine saves a lot of effort."

After Naoki Yongshan saw it, he immediately answered: "This is not the latest editor. I have seen a more advanced dual-monitor screen editing platform in Europe before. It is larger than this machine, but it can support two materials. clip."

Yi Tangxiu snorted coldly: "Naoki-san is really well-informed!"

"Haha, it's all accumulated in normal times~" Naoki Yongshan accepted the irony without blushing, and took it as a compliment, "When this movie is over, we will also update the machine."

Then he directly asked Masataka Komori, "Ms. Masataka, how far have you cut it?"

Masataka Komori was still secretly watching the faces of the two bosses, but when asked about something serious, he immediately spoke up.

"All the material has been arranged according to the storyline, and the process of the main character's enrollment has just been cut since yesterday."

Naoki Yongshan sat unceremoniously by the editing table, and began to operate:

"Time is tight, so let's continue!"

After speaking, he and Komori Masataka devoted themselves to work, which made Shuichi Itou and Kaede Nagayama who were standing and watching a little at a loss.

After hesitating for a while, Shuichi Ido decided to continue introducing Feng Yongshan for a while, but when he was introducing, Naoki Yongshan was already explaining to Masataka Komori:

"Masataka-kun, give me the shot of Serizawa Tamao leaving the hospital first, and then find the profile shot and close-up shot of the crash."

After a while:

"Zheng Xiaojun, the front shot of the drag racing scene, and the side shot of the police chasing afterward."

"Zheng Xiaojun"

Unlike when Shuichi Itou and Masataka Komori edited, when Naoki Nagayama edited, he already had the picture of the future film in his mind, and he could know every shot in his mind, so the editing was very smooth.

Yi Tangxiu saw that the editing speed was so fast. Originally, for a chase scene, he and Masataka Komori would have spent at least an hour, but Naoki Nagayama would finish it in ten minutes. He was very anxious. I also glance at the editing table from time to time.

"Mr. Zheng Xiao, where is the close-up shot of the police?" Naoki Yongshan found that there was a shot that could not be found, "The close-up shot of the confrontation in the alley."

"Wait a while. I remember it is here." Komori Masataka searched for it in the material, but he still couldn't find it for a while, and couldn't help looking at Shuichi Itou, "Shuichi-san, do you remember where it is?"

After finally waiting for the opportunity, Shuichi Yitang immediately sat next to the editing table, and said arrogantly: "Why are you so careless, didn't you use this when editing the trailer? It's in the rest of the film!"

As he spoke, he searched through the remaining films on the other side and found the material: "Isn't it right here!"

After Naoki Naoyama took over, he immediately continued to cut, and Shuichi Ido sat beside him and did not continue to stand up.

"And then there's the shot of Serizawa crashing into the school's barbed wire."

"The scene where I met Genji Takizawa for the first time."

"Long-shot and close-up preparation of the police arrest."

A series of instructions came out of Naoki Naoyama’s mouth. Sometimes I watched the screen and discussed with the two of them whether such a shot is suitable or needs to be adjusted. After all, a little modification has been made in the script, and the screen of the movie must be appropriate. Amendment is.

The three of them worked enthusiastically, and Shuichi Ido seemed to forget that he had to teach Naoki Nagayama a lesson, and he was very devoted.

At this time, Yong Shanfeng who was beside me was speechless, who am I? where am I? What am I doing here? Should I go?

Naoki Yongshan saw the idle Yongshan Feng when he turned his head, so he smiled and said:

"Brother Feng, editing is very boring. You can go chat with the crew and see what they are usually doing."

"Ah, is that so? Alright~"

Looking at his cousin who was immersed in the clip again, Yong Shanfeng always felt that he didn't do anything when he came here this time, but he seemed to have played some role.

If you put your heart and soul into it, the editing never remembers the year.

Sometimes the sun rises and the sunset is just the difference between opening and closing eyes. When you are working hard on something, day and night are never the standard for measuring time, but the progress of editing.

This time, in order to express his apology for letting the pigeons go before, Naoki Naoyama also became ruthless. For a week, he was like an office worker, spending two points and one line between the studio and Yamazakin every day. He was even more diligent than studying in school.

Grandpa Mingcai's funeral was held concisely and solemnly. After all, he had been hospitalized many times. Whether it was psychological or otherwise, the family was already prepared for his death.

And after the funeral, Akina quickly went on the next national tour, to make up for all the work that was delayed by asking for leave before, so she only made a phone call when she returned to Tokyo, and then started traveling across the country .

And Naoki Yongshan here also pushed the editing process of "Hot-Blooded High School" to half with extremely high efficiency.

This day, I came to the studio early again, and after greeting everyone, I wanted to enter the editing room, but was stopped by Otomo Fangcun:

"Naoki-san, wait a minute."

"Nani?"

"Naoki-san come to the office first."

"Oh~"

Like an honest child, Naoki Naoyama's mind has been almost filled with rolls of film and tape recently.

Otomo Fangcun held a newspaper and asked Naoki Yongshan: "Does Naoki-san know what day it is?"

"Eh Wednesday?" It was hard to remember.

"Today is the release date of the Music Trust Chart!" Fangcun Otomo scratched his head, "You didn't completely forget it, did you?"

"Ah, the day when the rankings are released!" Yongshan Naoki clenched his right fist and hit the open palm of his left hand, as if suddenly remembering, "I remember!"

Otomo Fangcun's eyes seemed to be looking at the silly son of the landlord's family: "Naoki-san, are you still a child? Don't learn the movements in the animation!"

"Today is the day when Ozaki-san's results are announced!"

It has been two weeks since Toyo Ozaki held his concert, and now it is time to count the sales of his records. Naoki Naoyama also reacted:

"Oh? How about it, is Yutaka Ozaki on the list?"

There was a smile on Fangcun Otomo's face: "Of course! The weekly sales volume of Yutaka Ozaki's second album has reached 200,000 copies, and it has already entered the top ten! Ranked eighth!"

"Hahaha, that's really great!"

Otomo Fangcun handed over the newspaper: "Don't worry, there's even better news. Yutaka Ozaki's single "Song of the Sunset" actually topped the chart with sales of 280,000 copies!"

Naoki Naoyama was surprised: "Can a record with only one single surpass the album?"

"Maybe it's because it's cheap," Otomo Fangcun joked, "but the album has long-term sales potential! Both Sony and Being Records are convinced of this."

"But speaking of it, Yutaka Ozaki actually occupies two positions in the top ten of this ranking!"

Otomo Fangcun smiled: "Yeah, with such a result, the other singers in the same period will be pissed off! Hahaha~"

In any case, releasing two albums at the same time is too outrageous. Generally speaking, it will definitely rob the same fans of buying desire. If the record company does this, it will lose money!

"Then how is the itinerary arranged for Satozaki-san?" Naoki Nagayama didn't pay much attention to that side, so he could only ask the Chief Manager Yoshimura Otomo.

"During this time, there should be two programs, THE BEST TEN and the Golden Melody of the Night, and then various other music programs. In short, all kinds of music programs have sent out invitations, and Sudou-san said that he is already too busy. "Dayou Fangcun kept smiling and continued,

"Next, it is natural to compete for various awards. In this regard, Sony and Being Records have all started."

Naoki Naoyama felt that something was missing: "Huh? What about us?"

Otomo Fangcun felt a little ashamed: "Although I'm a little embarrassed, but in terms of the influence of these judges, our firm is not as powerful as them."

"That's it." After all, it's an agency that has only been established for more than two years. Even with two idol singers, there is still a gap in this respect. "In this case, Otomo-san, let's double the PR fee!"

Naoki Yongshan thought of what he said in a flash before, if Akina was really signed, the strength of his own firm would still be a little weaker.

"Twice as high?"

Otomo Fangcun was surprised. Although there are not many artists under his umbrella, due to the excellent sales of records, the public relations expenses of GG firm have always been very generous.

"Hey, Otomo-san, go boldly and engage in relationships with people in the entertainment industry!" Naoki Naoyama handed over all the external public relations to Otomo Yoshimura, "Train up Masami Inada and the newcomer Takeharu Kawahara. Anyway , Let our personal connections develop rapidly."

". Naoki-san, why don't you expand your network!" Fangcun Otomo looked at Naoki Yongshan, obviously, as a famous musician, songwriter and composer, it is the most convenient in the music industry.

"I'm too young and inexperienced!"

He's only in his 20s, and you want him to play the role of a good boy to win the favor of bigwigs in the music industry? This is what Masahiko Kondo did!

"In short, I leave it to you!"

Naoki Yongshan reassuredly handed over everything to Otomo Fangcun, not worried about him going out independently in the future.

Which big company can give him nearly 10% of the shares? If you work alone, where can you find a creative genius like Naoki Nagayama? Where can I find a technical master like Shuichi Itou? And both of them don't care.

Walking into the editing room with a good mood, Shuichi Ido had completely let go of his previous resentment at this time, and greeted Naoki Nagayama happily:

"Naoki-san, here you come~ Why are you so happy?"

"Ah, Yutaka Ozaki's second album has entered the top ten of the Oricon chart, and a single has reached the top of the chart." Naoki Naoyama happily announced, "This album is a big success!"

"Haha, it's amazing!" Itang Xiuyi praised without hesitation, "Then is it time to start preparing for the major music awards and record awards?"

"Xiu Yisang also understands these?"

Yi Tangxiu looked calm: "Because the release of the movie is the same, after the first week's box office comes out, you can start the next steps, the major awards."

Naoki Yongshan nodded, it seems that in the entertainment world, they are all the same!

"By the way, Naoki-san, let's talk about this." Yi Tangxiu thought of something, "Our campaign has already started, do you want to meet my teacher later?"

"Mr. Machida Yasuchi?" Naoki Naoyama recalled the old man who had met once, "What's wrong?"

"The annual graduate exchange in the college is about to start, and many students will use this as an opportunity to promote."

Alumni Association! Isn't this kind of gathering just for students who are well behaved to show their faces and brag in front of everyone? But sometimes you can exchange resources, help each other and things like that, especially in the film industry.

You lead me and I lead you, such a circle within the film industry is formed!

"But I'm not a student of your academy." Naoki Yongshan asked, "Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I went?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter!" Yi Tangxiu didn't care at all, "If those students know that the best director of the blue ribbon, the winner of the Film Academy Award, will definitely be more excited!"

Yes, at this kind of gathering, I seem to have a little bit of status, as a guest or a celebrity, maybe I can give a sharing lecture!

I've been tired of cutting movies recently, so it seems like a good idea to go out and get some fresh air!

"Tokyo University of the Arts, in Ueno, right?" Naoki Naoyama asked.

"Hi, it's right next to the Tokyo Museum." Knowing Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido agreed, "The time is the day after tomorrow, on Friday afternoon, Naoki-san and I will go together!"

"That's good~ Let's go to Tokyo University of the Arts to have a look at that time, I haven't been there yet!"

"Hahaha, let me show you around my alma mater!" After speaking, he looked at Masataka Komori, who had been listening in, "Masataka-san, please join me!"

"Hi!"

This is to introduce my contacts to my apprentices!

After happily setting the time, Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori put themselves into the intense editing work again.

The material on the editing table has been reduced by more than half. The last big duel is the main part, but it should be more convenient to edit. Overall, it will take another five days or so to start the trial screening!

Hmm. A week later, around August 24th, it looks like the movie will be released in early September!
